The severe air quality poses significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and those with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions. Prolonged exposure to such high pollution levels can lead to respiratory distress, eye irritation, and other health complications. The situation is expected to worsen in the coming days, especially with Diwali celebrations approaching, which may further increase pollution levels due to firecracker emissions. Residents in affected areas are likely to experience reduced visibility and discomfort due to the dense smog.
